Save up to an hour every workday for the rest of your life!

My name is Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus. At age 30, I quit a job in advertising I'd grown to despise and became a writer. Everyone but my wife thought it would be a miracle if I succeeded. To everyone's surprise, I have written or co-written more than 80 books, which have sold millions of copies worldwide in a dozen different languages. (Does anyone remember Stupid Mac Tricks? That was one of my best sellers!)

While I was making a comfortable living as a writer by the mid-1990s, making it was killing me. I seemed to work all the time, and while I never missed a deadline, I was tense and irritable, with the shortest of short tempers.

Discovering I have A.D.H.D. explained a lot!

Then, at age 40-something, I learned I had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.). It explained a lot, and made me realize I'd have to figure out ways to compensate for symptoms that included (but were not limited to): a laughably short attention span; difficulty focusing on a single task for more than a few moments; an inability to keep my ass in a chair (vital if you're going to be a writer); and a penchant for procrastination.

I read a lot about how to prosper in spite of A.D.H.D.; on personal productivity and time management; and on procrastination (and ways to avoid it). What I found was there is little advice out there for computer users (and even less for Mac users.) Time and again I found discussions of essential time management tools and techniques like to-do lists, calendars, and journals—things that are arguably better suited to a Mac than to pen and paper—were often dismissed with a throwaway paragraph or two (or not mentioned at all).

And that's why I felt I had to create Working Smarter for Mac Users, and create an ebook and online courses to help others learn to do more work in less time, avoid procrastination, and have more time for things they love.

My mission is...
